Architecture is the built manifestation of a culture's values. As enduring statements, buildings tell us in clear terms about the civilizations that built them.
In this same way, the architecture we make plays a vital role in contemporary discussions about our own values. It represents what we, as a society, think is important and through its very public nature, provides an opportunity for criticism, change and improvement.

To facilitate this dialogue, architecture must be clear in its intentions and language. As its primary means of expression, the aesthetic language of a building should evolve from a system of logic responsive to context, function, building materials and construction methods.
When this synthesis is successful, an architectural work is not only an expression of the values of the institutions that create it, but also lends dignity to the individuals it houses, its surroundings and the process of building.
